 Bonnets are growing much smaller, and before the winter is over there will be few of the high ones left. The new ones are round and low and the exact opposites of those of last winter. They are not nearly 80 becom- ing as the ones they supersede.
 A morning-gown for an invalid is made of old blue cashmere, opening at point from the throat over loose front of the same shade of plush. Broad gros-grain ribbons of | oId-blue confine it loosely at the waist and | the deep turned over collar and cuffs are of ! the pIush An edging of double fold of | blue and of white ribbon finishes the inside | of the sleeves and collars.
 A pretty morning gown for lady in \ mourning is of black cashmere made with | train and Watteau pleat. The front is of | white surah, over which is & loose Fedora | front of black embroidered net.
